Engr. Emerson L. Benitez, LRTA Officer-in-Charge said the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) approved the request from the National Historical Commission to give the public free rides in order to provide them convenience and mobility to participate in activities organized by various government agencies in the metropolis.

Benitez said commuters can take the free rides between 7:00am - 9:00am and from 5:00pm - 7:00pm at LRT-1 (Baclaran-Roosevelt) and LRT-2 (Santolan-Recto) lines.

Last year, around 121,000 passengers availed of the free rides with most of them children who had the chance to visit and enjoy the historic site of Rizal Park monument located near the UN station.

In line with DOTC's mandate to provide the public with safe and secure travel, the LRTA will continue to observe "No inspection, No entry policy" in all of its stations.
